BOOM!

Last year we experienced a horrible drought and wildfires.  This year we are having flooding and cool weather.

 We still have to recoup from the drought as we find dead trees around the yard.  We have three that need to be cut. 

Last weekend my Cowboy and I worked on getting this tree down.  We did a little research because we didn't want it to hit the fence, the neighbor's carport or the house!

 I will miss this tree because we planted a Kendalyn garden between this tree and another for her to see flowers bloom.  It also housed a woodpecker family.  Now we need a plan B.

 The ground was soggy and wet from our rains.  So we put on our boots  : )

My Cowboy hung the rope and tied it to a tree across the yard.

 As Cowboy sawed the tree I had to hang on the rope.  Actually I had to sit on the rope to make it go the way we wanted it to which meant towards ME!!  Then I hauled hiney to take cover, LOL! 

 Missy wanted to play in the water.  It was a hot one.

 Cowboy's oh-so-precise cut

 K was in her exersaucer in the shed.  We wanted her protected.  I guess you do what you got to do.  : )

 And down she goes.

 All in a day's work.

Then it poured down rain.  We enjoyed the cool rain and relaxed inside for the rest of the day, HA!!
